For this episode's pin, a silly clarification: Archer isn't Archer from the DEEN anime/Fate path, nor is he Shirou from the DEEN anime/Fate path specifically. Archer's canon backstory as revealed by Nasu is almost identical to the Fate route, but without him ever having saved Saber. Nasu mentioned there were minor differences so one assumes effectively everything major was the same (including knowing that Rider had a pegasus and Bellerephon and was killed by Excalibur but not who she was, having not met Sasaki at all, knowing almost nothing about Caster's actual abilities, thinking Shirou would be romantically entangled with Saber, what Berserker seemed to be capable of, etc). We use the DEEN footage because it's the best approximation of the Fate path in visual form (and we did include shots of Archer fighting Berserker in his "flashback" when he was remembering Berserker, but that was more a stylistic choice meant to point at him remembering that "he" dies to Berserker if they fight). Archer's assumptions and conclusions in this abridged anime are based on information Shirou would have had available to him after the Fate path. This isn't a correction to anything, it just seems like every episode we leave a little "production notes" pin at this point. Wouldn't want to break the pattern. (Also yes, we've always known Kazuki Yamashiro's name is Souichirou Kuzuki. That's not an error.)
Thanks guys. It cleared it up to me because I really thought at first that it was more based off the Deen's route so my apologies for that as I've been commenting around. I do have a question, in the "Archer Route" you guys based off for this Archer since the canon is up in the air about a lot of the finer details of the route, there's a mention of Kuzuki in today's episode implying Shirou-Archer learned who was the master of Caster which I don't remember the VN's Fate route revealing. Is that one of the things you guys wanted to add and attach personally based off the Deen addition or did I miss a detail somewhere among the plethora of Beast Lair forum topics I haven't touched?
After Caster dies Kuzuki also vanishes. They knew he stayed at Ryudo temple, and assuredly there would later be a report about him being found murdered at the temple. Even if it went unreported it's not a stretch to imagine that Shirou would later link Kuzuki to Caster given that she points out that Gilgamesh killed her master and Assassin. It's an assumption on our part, but one based on Archer's general deductive reasoning.

"If your servant died, you're done. There are no second chances." -Kotomine Kirei, the man whose servant died, and he was not done, and he got a second chance.
Goddamn Heaven's feel, reaally make you hate Shinji more. You dislike him in stay night for being annoying but heaven's feel...he deserved what he got in stay night
You know, I hindsight, I can kinda see why Gilgamesh was fine with wiping out most of humanity. I think anyone forced to spend more than five minutes at a time with Shinji would feel that way.
Being with Shinji for a couple of days and Rider decided to let Kazuki kill her and get resurrected in Heaven's feel. Tbh, having your neck snapped is better than being servant for someone like him.
@@artofthepossible7329 Shinji has a lot of flaws, but "not trying his hardest" (what gilgamesh hates in the current world)) is definitively not one of them. Hell, his whole backstory is about how he did try his hardest and that's why he lost his mind.
Shirou: "Shinji's the master of rider...what? You didn't know that?" *Later* Actually-Satan: "Kazuki's the master of Caster...what? You didn't know that?" The writing in this is so simple yet so excellent, I love it.
A continuity error on Mouthwash’s part. Back in Episode 3, it was made clear that Shirou and Rin became aware that Shinji was Rider’s Master, since Shirou heard his voice in the woods when Rider attacked him and he told Rin this.
Archer clearly thinks this is the Fate Route. Rider clearly thought this was the Heaven's Feel Route. I feel for you, Rider. Sakura not being the main girl is enough to make your head spin.
I like how Kirei’s reaction to finding out Shinji is a Matou is the same as his reaction to finding out Shirou is an Emiya. “Ah yes, another generation of my favorite victims. This is going to be *fun*.”
@@deus_noctis9810 Archer told off Rin, Archer is Future Shirou. So today was the day that Shirou told off Rin, it just wasn't present Shirou who did so
@@deus_noctis9810 Present Shirou was saying today was the day he'd tell off Rin, and it was the day Shirou Emiya told off Rin however it wasn't Present Shirou it was Future Shirou
Wait if she attracts all the girls its a harem, but she attracts all guys too which means reverse harem. So if she attracts both... is that what round table means?
So, Gilgamesh’s treasury includes vehicles, right? Imagine if he started getting tired of launching weapons at people, and started just... dropping tanks on them. “You’re starting to annoy me mongrel” *Drops the Titanic on them*
"Kirei! Kirei no! I can hear what you're thinking from the basement!" I just laughed so hard during this whole episode but I lost it at that. This Gil is hilarious.
@@MrDibara nah, unless he went against someone who would target him (so basically illya or caster). Lancer himself didn't murder him even after he tried to rape rin, he only poked him a bit. Lancer isn't really murderous.
@@chukyuniqul Actually, he _can be_ pretty murderous if you, on top of rubbing him the wrong way, also betrays him in any form. One flaw of his is that, like almost every true Servant save the Archer and Berserker Classes, Lancer *will* obey his Master's commands even if he disagrees with them. HOWEVER, he _does_ seem to be the kind to draw a line at some point, similar to Saber. So I'd have to wonder how long it would take for Shinji to have to use a Command Spell to force him to do a specific thing that Lancer dislikes. At the worst case scenario, Lancer might feel betrayed and kill Shinji even if he's his own Master. Really, on the _BEST_ of _BEST_ scenarios possible, Lancer might try to coach Shinji a little and teach him to be a somewhat better person. (he's one heck of a bro, that crazy Irishman) But I don't see much chemestry developing between them, given how Shinji is such a deluded coward and, when he's not being that, he's fully drowning in his own self-loathing for being a complete failure as a Magus AND as a Master. Lancer admires people who are gutsy, like Bazett, Shirou and Rin. Folks who try their very best no matter the odds and are not afraid to say what's trully on their minds. Shinji is the complete opposite of that, so I'm not sure how he would rub off on Lancer.

Does that confirm that, if a Servant messed up, Ryougi Shiki could kill them? XP I'm being rethorical, OF COURSE her Mystic Eyes can kill them, Shiki just cannot possibly FIGHT them directly, but that's a whole different story. (btw, love FGO's fanservice in making her, Void and Asagami into Servants) ^_^
@@MrDibara The 3rd Personality (Void) can obliterate any Servant easily since the connection to the Root of the rank she has, as it was said in her FGO profile, makes all the stats meaningless.
@@miruneverdies Well, Void herself should've been the most deadly thing ever if it actually *cared* about anything. But it doesn't, it's all fun and games to it.
@@MrDibara Yep, pretty much. It's like when you have cheat codes to a sandbox RPG game you've developed and quickly lose all interest to it because of facing no challenge or interesting story whatsoever.
Everyone: *gives Shinji the time of day.* Shinji: How dare you speak to me in this manner! Gilgamesh: *Verbally tramples all over Shinji.* Shinji: I think we're going to be best friends!
I just realized that the reason why Gilgamesh wants to destroy humanity in this route is probably because he interacted with Shinji and decided that THAT guy's species should probably die out.
Well may happened in UBW though considering that Zouken was nowhere to be find. And its maybe not simple but Gilgamesh's sh*tone collection of weapons would be able to pull it off
@@zen_7748 And to be fair, it is a DOUBLE LAYERED LIE. Because he was the guy who lost HIS servant and yet got a second chance despite what he'd said to Shinji earlier. WHILE ALSO LYING RIGHT THERE.
Just like how the Holy Grail War is not a war and is not over the real Holy Grail, Bloodfort Andromeda is not a fortress and has nothing to do with the myth of Andromeda. Though I will concede that there's blood involved.
So I wanted to point out a small writing error. In a previous episode, before attacking, Archer shouts out "Prepare to feel the unbridled wrath of Shirou Emiya!". I know he was just repeating what he heard Shirou say earlier, and was probably implying something like "I am fighting on Shirou's behalf", but it kind of sounds like Archer is implying that he *is* Shirou, which is clearly impossible.
@@mjcsandboxgames4021 obviously not. Rin is such a talented mage she is attuned to all the base elements. With connections to the magical world she would clearly realize any connections shiro would have to other shiro and try to seduce him to find out why he clearly is Satan. r/whoosh
I'm gonna miss her too! She was my first "sexy" role to voice, and I so loved that Logan's writing layered sarcasm and sweetness into her as well. She deserves layers!
@@cassandracavalli493 You did a great job. Rider is one of my favorite characters. I hate how she gets a raw deal in nearly every route because she's stuck with Shinji.
@@kylepessell1350 The only one to actually "fight" Rider was Shiro, and I doubt he'd be able to discern her identity from that one confrontation. You could make a guess with the giant eyeball in the sky, but unless she's riding a pegasus, or petrifying people with a look, you won't be truly certain.
@@sacktheargonian The other children that survived the fire at the end of the 4th War were "taken in" by Kirei as orphans. Their bodies are being used as prana batteries (like in the Matrix but more painful) in the basement of the Church. Shirou dodged this fate by Kiritsugu using magic to bypass the law and adopt him instantly. The is the reason why Shirou gets this creepy feeling in the Church because of all the suffering that goes on inside it.

"How do we make Gilgamesh better?" Heresy. You cannot make the King of Uruk better. Below better Sakura and Gil, I love every character equally. But come on! Gilgamesh is so good in this abriged. Writing is so on point. Christmas came early... Thank you so much
@@classikbat8214 ...considering he more or less told her "go end yourself" in Heaven's Feel... prolly not. If the Abridged series shifts up what he says, it might make him more caring on that front.
I almost wished they had had Gilgamesh be a nice guy, just to screw with everyone. Like, "Saber, I know I was a bit of a jerk last time, but that was 10 years ago. I have had some time to mellow out, see the world, etc."
Don't let the intimidating Rider in the thumbnail distract you from the fact that she gets killed by a depressed ethics teacher in about 3 seconds flat.
She wanted to go to bathroom but she made one fatal mistake. She asked him "Can I use the bathroom" instead of "May I". Which allowed depressed morbid poetic teacher to instantly kill her
Okay, despite the fact that I *know* what happened in Kirei's basement. I do appreciate that Gilgamesh in this Abridged made it an objective to Murder Zouken and the crest worms.

I could be one of those comments that drops their favorite line in the comments with a time stamp, but that'd be like half the episode. Instead - I love how every line from Shinji's mouth just continually reminds you how much of a shitlord he is. Also, everything after Shinji met up with Kirei is pure gold; I was grinning the whole time.
Gilgamesh's response to Kirei's messed-up perverted imagination is also a treat. Gil be chilling, enjoying his figurines then the faces of dead children suddenly barrages Gil's head via Kirei.
SHIRO: I wish I could say the kinds of things you say. KIRITO: Oh, do you now? ASUNA: No, he doesn't. RIN: You heard the lady. SHIRO: I am so confused right now. KIRITO: And yet strangely -- ASUNA & RIN: DON'T finish that. Sentence. ALUCARD: Aaaand it's back. Just like me!

@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec That's what I've been running on. Besides, a version of Shirou from a time when he fell in love with Baeber and she left as soon as the war was over, never to be seen again? That'll mess you up.
This series has without a doubt the best writing of all abridged series out there (and better than 90% of the Fate franchise as well) But SAO abridged has other qualities in which it excels, mostly visual edits imo However both do manage to take the source material and surpass it, to the point where SAO abridged is the distinctively better show than the original (which wasn't hard but still, praise where praise is due)

@@phoenix7634 oh boy have i got news for you
"...it only takes one slip up in battle to see yourself obliterated, doesn't matter how strong you are."
Oh, the massive jab at Gilgamesh.
Does that confirm that, if a Servant messed up, Ryougi Shiki could kill them? XP
I'm being rethorical, OF COURSE her Mystic Eyes can kill them, Shiki just cannot possibly FIGHT them directly, but that's a whole different story. (btw, love FGO's fanservice in making her, Void and Asagami into Servants) ^_^
@@MrDibara The 3rd Personality (Void) can obliterate any Servant easily since the connection to the Root of the rank she has, as it was said in her FGO profile, makes all the stats meaningless.
@@miruneverdies Well, Void herself should've been the most deadly thing ever if it actually *cared* about anything. But it doesn't, it's all fun and games to it.

Yep, pretty much. It's like when you have cheat codes to a sandbox RPG game you've developed and quickly lose all interest to it because of facing no challenge or interesting story whatsoever.

I just realized that the reason why Gilgamesh wants to destroy humanity in this route is probably because he interacted with Shinji and decided that THAT guy's species should probably die out.

The only other person he’s interacted with is Kotomine, which is essentially second verse, same as the first
"''YOROKOBE' MY ASS, KIREI!"

"You know we never even learned her name. Is that rude? Is that bad grail war etiquette?" I don't know why but that line killed me.
"Fruit-punch-murder-slurpee."
I adore you, Rin.
Hakuraita It’s literally just as chuuni as “Bloodfort Andromeda”...
Blood fort andromeda? That’s a weird way of saying Fruit-Punch-Murder-Slurpie!
Just like how the Holy Grail War is not a war and is not over the real Holy Grail, Bloodfort Andromeda is not a fortress and has nothing to do with the myth of Andromeda. Though I will concede that there's blood involved.
"HEY IS ANYONE DEAD?! YOU HAVE TO TELL US IF YOUR DEAD!"
Now this is a perfect addition to the fate line memes
He remembered the rules from 2 episodes ago..
"Hey are you dead? You have to tell me if your dead, thems the rules of MurderDeathKill" - Rin
"I wouldn't be able to return home if I got killed, I'd be dead"
This counts too I think
13:53 Shirou: Hey, you stabbed me!
Archer: Yeah, sure did.
Shirou: You're a butthole!
Archer: *beat* You don't mince words, huh?
"Yorokobe my a$$ , Kirei, don't make me come up there"
i'm dying
So I wanted to point out a small writing error. In a previous episode, before attacking, Archer shouts out "Prepare to feel the unbridled wrath of Shirou Emiya!". I know he was just repeating what he heard Shirou say earlier, and was probably implying something like "I am fighting on Shirou's behalf", but it kind of sounds like Archer is implying that he *is* Shirou, which is clearly impossible.
Like Rin would confuse the fallen angel lucifer with some stupid high jump kid
And he's nothing like shirou.
His hair's white
Is this a joke?
@@mjcsandboxgames4021 obviously not. Rin is such a talented mage she is attuned to all the base elements. With connections to the magical world she would clearly realize any connections shiro would have to other shiro and try to seduce him to find out why he clearly is Satan.

Rider is Saber's behind the closet Wife
And they didn't even learn her name.
@@Youngblood-Pirates how tragic

The only one to actually "fight" Rider was Shiro, and I doubt he'd be able to discern her identity from that one confrontation. You could make a guess with the giant eyeball in the sky, but unless she's riding a pegasus, or petrifying people with a look, you won't be truly certain.

Not that Shinji would be filling.
@@sacktheargonian The other children that survived the fire at the end of the 4th War were "taken in" by Kirei as orphans. Their bodies are being used as prana batteries (like in the Matrix but more painful) in the basement of the Church.

The is the reason why Shirou gets this creepy feeling in the Church because of all the suffering that goes on inside it.

I LOVE the internal consistency of Archer knowing modern references WAAAAY better than any other servant.
Archer questioning Saber about how Rider died and Shinji mentioned how he didn’t know the teachers name are touches which really elevate this series.
"How do we make Gilgamesh better?"
Heresy. You cannot make the King of Uruk better. Below better Sakura and Gil, I love every character equally. But come on! Gilgamesh is so good in this abriged. Writing is so on point. Christmas came early... Thank you so much
Is it just me, or did Gilgamesh actually indirectly cared about Sakura?
@@classikbat8214 Sakura is a treasure. Gil protects all treasures (They belong to him after all). Wise King get another point in the win category
@@classikbat8214 ...considering he more or less told her "go end yourself" in Heaven's Feel... prolly not.
If the Abridged series shifts up what he says, it might make him more caring on that front.
@@MrCat-zz5eo chances he'll say something like "Now you're mine. And no one else's. Stay here and I'll bring back something nice
I almost wished they had had Gilgamesh be a nice guy, just to screw with everyone. Like, "Saber, I know I was a bit of a jerk last time, but that was 10 years ago. I have had some time to mellow out, see the world, etc."
Psychiatrist: Archer Karen doesn't exist he can't speak to the manager
Archer Karen: 7:20
Don't let the intimidating Rider in the thumbnail distract you from the fact that she gets killed by a depressed ethics teacher in about 3 seconds flat.
She wanted to go to bathroom but she made one fatal mistake.
She asked him "Can I use the bathroom" instead of "May I".
Which allowed depressed morbid poetic teacher to instantly kill her
"As the sun dies, follow the path of flickering lights... For they alone, will guide you to safety!"
He is an assassin...
Kuzuki isn't an English teacher. That's Taiga. I don't remember what the fuck Kuzuki teaches. Though it's "drama/nothing at all" in Abridged.
I don't think we ever even figured her identity out in this route. She was about as relevant as Sakura.
Shirou: "What you didn't know that?"
Rin: "Haha, that's ridiculous!"
[Oh shit realization followed by slow death of school]
Rin:.... FUUUUUUUU-
And then it happens with Archer
Shiro : The list of people like you.
Rin: People like me (gasp) SHE'S AFTER BABER!!!
That line killed me!!! Look forward to the next episode.
Literally lost it when they used footage from Carnival Phantasm.
I demand more Archer talking about Deen/Stay Night to everyone's confusement
I need it
"You don't mince words, huh?" I love this quote even more because Stay Night Shirou actually says the line in the visual novel. Nice touch.
Okay, despite the fact that I *know* what happened in Kirei's basement.
I do appreciate that Gilgamesh in this Abridged made it an objective to Murder Zouken and the crest worms.
Plot twist: Gilgamesh's alter form is actually Lawful Good, he's just operating on a different alignment chart.
But isn't regular Gil lawful good?
Ave Will Gil is Chaotic Good
@@raymondbeukeboom6666 Of course his alter form is good he can't be evil! he is good by definition! HOW DARE YOU even assume to imply that he could be anything else! And He IS the alignment chart
